Ilustration Supposing Books The Christmas Chronicles: The Legend of Santa Claus
In this new holiday classic, Tim Slover crafts a marvelous, magical novel about how Santa Claus became the man he is today. After reading The Christmas Chronicles, you’ll believe all over again in the magic of the season.Snow is falling, and the clock ticks toward midnight on Christmas Eve while countless children, too excited to sleep, anticipate the arrival of Santa Claus. But in Tim Slover’s deeply charming and utterly thrilling new novel, that’s the end rather than the beginning of the story. In this richly imagined tale of Santa’s origins, the man in full finally emerges. The Christmas Chronicles is at once an action-packed adventure, an inspiring story of commitment and faith, and a moving love story.
It all starts in 1343, when the child Klaus is orphaned and adopted by a craftsmen’s guild. The boy will grow to become a master woodworker with an infectious laugh and an unparalleled gift for making toys. His talent and generosity uniquely equip him to bestow hundreds of gifts on children at Christmas—and to court the delightful Anna, who enters his life on a sleigh driven by the reindeer Dasher and becomes his beloved wife.
Still, all is not snowfall and presents. Klaus will be shadowed by the envious Rolf Eckhof, who will stop at nothing to subvert him. But in the end, Santa’s magic is at last unleashed, flying reindeer come to his aid, and an epic battle between good and evil is waged in the frosty Christmas skies.
By turns enchanting, hair-raising, and inspirational, The Christmas Chronicles is a beguiling tale destined to become a holiday favorite for the ages.

This was such a nice book to read to get me excited about the holiday season! I won this book a couple of months ago but wanted to save it for closer to Christmas. I am so glad I did! This tells the story of how Santa Claus came to be who he is. I loved how the story was told and immediately passed the book along so others could enjoy this wonderful holiday story! It was a very quick read and so very magical! I only hope there will be another book like this...perhaps primarily about Mrs. Claus?This was an enjoyable Christmas story about Klaus, a orphan boy who was adopted by the craftsmen's guild. He quickly became a master woodworker who loved to make toys most of all. It tells the story of how this orphan boy became the famous North Pole resident who brings joy to all children on Christmas Eve. It is not only an adventure story, but also a romance as he meets Anna and falls in love with her.This story will bring a smile on your face as you read it. A great read!
A great read during the holiday season. I enjoyed how the story unfolded, hitting each of the beliefs about Santa Klaus, his reindeer, the elves, etc. Love the message at the end-how the demon has targeted humanity and the true meaning of Christmas.

I just won this book from First Reads! Love to be reading about Christmas, my favorite time of the year. Only after a few pages of this book I was caught up in the story. While traveling to get fresh pine boughs for their festive Christmas. A man has a little problem out in the middle of no where. He try's to get cell phone reception and is startled by something shocking (but this is a Christmas story) After he calms down he finds a green leather book and realizes he has found the true story of
Each December, I like to read/listen to a Christmas-themed book. Due to where I was in my Goodreads annual challenge, I was looking for something fairly short (I know, that's a cheap way to pad the book count! :) ). My wife recommended this book. As usual, listening to her was a good thing!This book is written as a history of Santa Claus. It begins with Santa in his youth in a German village in the Middle Ages when he was just a woodcarver named Klaus. The novel proceeds to tell how he become
First let me saywhat a delightful little book! I really liked this story about Santa Claus and where the legend came from. The legend of Santa Claus had to start somewhere and like all legends they start with humble and simple beginnings. Klaus (with a K) was the best carpenter in his little village and decided the make small toys for the children in his village after the Black Plague killed so many of the childrens families in 1343. Klaus just wanted to spread a little bit of happiness. Simple
